General Motors has confirmed pricing for the 2022 Chevy Trax subcompact crossover.
The 2022 Chevy Trax will start at $22,595 in the United States for the entry-level LS trim with front-wheel drive. That figure includes the mandatory $1,195 destination and freight charge.
The Trax will only be offered in two trim levels for 2022. Prices for the well-equipped LT trim level will start at $24,395 with front-wheel-drive. All-wheel-drive is available on both trim levels and will add $620 to the price of the subcompact crossover. The most expensive possible 2022 Chevy Trax with all available options, including equipment packs like the Premium Seat Package and Driver Confidence Package, would cost buyers $28,580 USD with destination and freight charges.
The 2022 Chevy Trax will remain mostly unchanged from the 2021 model year. Power comes from a turbocharged 1.4L LUV inline four-cylinder gas engine, which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel-drive. The crossover will also stick with its familiar GM Gamma II platform, of course.
| Trim Level | 2022 MSRP | 2021 MSRP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| LS FWD | $22,595 | $22,595 | $0 |
| LS AWD | $23,215 | $23,215 | $0 |
| LT FWD | $24,395 | $24,395 | $0 |
| LT AWD | $25,015 | $25,015 | $0 |
One change applied to the 2022 Chevy Trax is the subtraction of the flat folding front passenger seat from the vehicle’s order books. The flat-folding front passenger seat in the Chevy Trax (RPO D7P) previously came standard in all trim-levels of the subcompact crossover, but will now be replaced by a traditional non-folding front passenger seat (RPO E91) that will also come with a seatback map pocket. The flat folding front passenger seat featured a hard plastic seatback and allowed users to load longer items into the back of the subcompact crossover. While the seat was standard equipment, the RPO E91 seat could be ordered at no cost.
The 2022 Chevy Trax will be built at the GM Bupyeong Assembly plant in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, South Korea alongside the related 2022 Buick Encore. Production will begin this summer.

The Trailblazer seems better than this in every way (mileage, cargo space, looks) but for some reason the Trax costs more. I even checked the 0-60 time (as if that matters in this segment) and those are basically the same too.
What am I missing here?
It can’t be the extra 200 lbs of towing capacity?
I prefer the European engineering and korean or United States manufacturing of the refined 4cyl 1.4t in the Trax. The 1.3t 3cyl in the Trailblazer was engineered in Shanghai and Manufactured in Mexico, both nations that don’t particularly practice fair labor laws. The drivetrain of the Trailblazer and GX lacks the polish of the Trax or Encore.
First off, the Trax specifically says “Never tow a trailer with your vehicle. It was not designed or intended to tow a trailer” Second, the trailer weight for the Trailblazer is 1000 lbs.
I dont care of you do tow with a Trax, its your problem when you kill yourself or someone else.
I think if you’re just towing a small utility trailer across town the risk of killing anyone is pretty low… I’d personally rather tow, if I had to, with the Trax because as I said, it’s a better drivetrain that can better handle the extra load.
Trax it’s one of the worst vehicles chevrolet have. Don’t waste your money.
I have a 2018 and it’s a horrible car I wish that I never got it. I should have stayed with Honda
